Frictional Games Forum (read-only)

It is a bit isn't it? Can someone kidnap Dan and strap him to a chair until he's answered every single question?

Well to be fair, there's not a LOT of questions we seem to have... thirty minutes might be just enough, but we should start compiling questions to ask regardless.

Will it be okay to say something like "will the game release around Q2 2013 or Q3 2013?"I'm only asking.

Here's a few I have. I'll for sure be here, so if anybody else can't be here, I can ask some questions on their behalf:

1. Hardware support: will the system requirements be comparable to "The Dark Descent?" Or higher? Will there be any support for the oculus rift? Or any other peripherals (controller etc.)?

2. This is probably up to FG, but any idea what the price will be? E.g. the same as TDD ($20)? More? Less?

3. The monster AI and chase sequences became pretty predictable in TDD, especially on repeat playthroughs. Will the AI and monster encounters in AAMFP be similar to TDD? Or will there be more randomization?

4. Will the narrative unfold in AAMFP similarly to the way it did in TDD, i.e. through diary pages? Or in a different manner?

5. We realize FG is responsible for the release date, but there must be some sort of communication between the two companies. Any idea on how far along the game is at this moment, and what's left to be completed?

6. Any comment on the NPCs in "machine"? Will we see anybody else walking around the world, or will it be mostly a ghost town like in TDD?

7. Some game news sites have been claiming that the game is slated for a Q3 release now, is there any truth to this (again, we realize FG is responsible for the release date, but it's safe to assume that the lines of communication are open between both companies)?

Couple more:

8. Will the level layout of AAMFP be similar to TDD? In other words, will the levels be organized around a series of central "safe hubs?"

9. Will the game support modding and custom story development?

Is this going to happen on this website http://www.thechineseroom.co.uk/ or there is going to a forum in this website?

It's going to be on this forum, they'll probably make a new thread for it.

I just heard about this Q&A today and i am wondering the same thing.

EDIT: Thanks for answering bluel10bster. Have they said what time it will begin? Sorry if this has already been asked, been away from the forum for a while.

You mean http://thechineseroom.co.uk/? That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with aamfp, this company develops other games too, they're just re-branding their website. The fact that it's being updated right now might just be coincidence, they've been in the process of doing that for a while now.

Guys, in case it happens in this thread (and in general):

Please do not quote walls of text just to say "I like it", "thanks" etc... Also, don't double, triple, quadruple etc quote what others posted.

It makes reading new stuff very tiring. If your reply is the next one, the quote is not needed.
